GARNET DAVIS McELREE, CHIEF CURATOR:

Garnet Davis McElree is an award-winning Creative Director, entrepreneur, brand strategist, and Curator of Art, Technology, and Culture. His work spans product design, advertising, innovation, and the practice of spotting what matters before it gets flattened into a trend or a LinkedIn carousel.

He’s collaborated with brands from The Gap to Nintendo and founded MOPOP (Museum of Pop Culture). Most recently, he launched Modern Being to help decode what people are actually feeling, and how those emotions quietly shape the trends, behaviors, and cultural shifts around us. A self-described cultural archaeologist, he helps audiences move beyond trends to understand the deeper shifts shaping identity, behavior, taste, and culture.

Like all respectable bios, this one makes him sound far more organized than he really is. For Garnet, AI is the biggest creative disruption since the Renaissance, and a powerful lens for asking bigger questions about art, authorship, and what this moment reveals about us.
